Answer 1

Male dominated countires in Middle East.

There are barbaric cultures in the Middle East who have no real understanding of Islam.

Pathetic men want to feel that they are better then someone so they pick on women.

In many middle eastern countries women do NOT have the option of going out in public uncovered. As a matter of fact these countires actually have a special unit to enforce this. Women can get into trouble and be arrested if they are not completely covered.

Answer 2

Wow, people here are really touchy tonight. Let's stop the war of religions and concentrate on the more important matters. Unfortunately, this story seems to be far too common in Iran. Amnesty International is a great organization, and I'm sure other countries do what they can, but international pressure can only accomplish so much. Change of the magnitude needed can only come from within, and unfortunately probably not without bloodshed. There must either be a change in leadership, or the people as a whole must collectively decide to say 'No' to the strict dress codes, to the moral police, to the biased legal codes. There's a barricade around Iran, every bit as solid as the Berlin Wall was, but less visible. It insulates the country and the people from the rest of the world, and I think change will come more easily once it's knocked down. I have no problem with Islam or with people who wish to follow it strictly, but that action loses all meaning when people are denied the choice. What's going on in Iran and countries like it is an abomination. I think it should be stopped, but fear there is almost nothing I can do. People should be educated about the reality, however. If anyone's interested, I would very much recommend the books Persepolis and Reading Lolita in Tehran (written by women who have lived in Iran most their lives). Everyone should know what's going on.

Answer 3

women would desire to offer their consent, that's interior the Qu'ran and any u . s . that has a diverse regulation is un Islamic. although the Qu'ran additionally states the rule of thumb on the subject of two women's testimony in basic terms be comparable to one guy. I truly have the suitable sympathy with your reason yet i will't sign any petition which inserts against something interior the Qu'ran. i'm truly sorry

Answer 4

well before attacking womens right in chrsitianity see what islam first say: (there is a verse in quran that allows husbands to beat their wives and not to sleep with them ) second there is another one about women are less intelligent and less religious than men also when a man wants to marry three other women he can and when he wants to divorce his wife he just tell her go , u r divorced like the way he takes his shoe off and by the way the site that u wrote above is about ur own explanations of the bible but when we get something from ur book quran we get it's explanation from islamic sources like tabary explanation of quran and more and more sources and what i just mentioned here about women in quran cannot be compared with what is written on this site and if u wanaa know about women in the holy bible u can know from our christian sources not from these lying sources

Answer 5

what did you expect, seeker is a male, and women have no rights in Islamic countries. Any place that says a woman needs 2 witnesses to prove rape, or that allows a man to murder his daughter if she doesn't marry a man who rapes her has no respect for women.

Answer 6

first of all, Iran is shiite, not of the majority of the muslims who are sunnis.

second, there exists no true muslim country today. that is because they have taken parts of it, or eft shariah altogether. (there is no caliphate either) so naming these countries islamic is not the correct term here.

Answer 7

The following passage describes the sickening practice of sex slavery. How can anyone think it is moral to sell your own daughter as a sex slave?

(Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)

When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment.

Deuteronomy 21:11-14 I

If you see a pretty woman among the captives then just take her home and “go in unto her.”

"Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as christ also is the head of the church, he himself being the savior of the body. But as the church is subject to christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything." (Ephesians 5:22-24)

"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression." (1 Timothy 2:11-14)

• "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (1 Corinthians 14:34)
